Important Quotes: Who said them? Why are they important?
o Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”-
o “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
o “Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.”
o “I wanted to you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
o “A mob’s always made up of people, no matter what.”
o “I can’t live one way in town and another way in my home.”
o “As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it – whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.”
o That’s the difference between America and Germany. We are a democracy and Germany is a dictatorship…Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced.”
o “’When they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things…Atticus, he was really nice.’
o ‘Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.’”
